EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 195. Dancing Waltz, 1872-85" captures a moment of graceful movement frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this particular image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women. In an era before motion pictures existed, Muybridge's sequential photographs revolutionized our understanding of movement and became a scientific tool for studying motion. In this mesmerizing frame, we see a full-length female figure standing confidently as she engages in the elegant art form of waltzing. The dancer's nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition, emphasizing her freedom of expression through dance. Muybridge's meticulous capture freezes each step of the waltz with precision and clarity. Through his stop-motion technique using multiple frames, he presents us with a visual narrative that transcends time itself. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this print is not only a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography but also serves as a reminder of the beauty found within human movement. It invites viewers to appreciate both the technical mastery behind capturing motion and the emotional power conveyed through dance.
